Last Sat- urday was a day of wind, strong and determined, as if bent on sweeping out the last vestiges of winter. Overhead the Sun was brilliant, and glinted in a thousand rays from the ripples of swift flowing water as the snow melted and was carried down the valley. The 'strength of the wind made us think of old illustra- tionis where figures at the cor- ,ners of the page are shown with cheeks puffed out fit ta bur3t, as they blow. A March xind, in the country, is dlean, boister- ous, joyous, signalling the end of winter, and human spirits rise to meet it. In town one is apt to get a mouthful of dirt as it swirls up a street contain- ing the residue from winter sanding. We t1ind in aur book on thc2 weather, iby George Kimble and Raymond Bush, that there 's good reason for the winds of March. It is a litie technic,ýtl, but in general the explanation is that the Arctic bas scarcely begun ta see the sun, tempera- turcs are low and a high pres- sure area exists. At the sanie time, in the southern states, the sun is bigh, the carth is warm- ing up, and pressures are gen- erally low. This contrast causes a fairly steep gradient, which nromotes active air movement hence, March, and sometimes April, winds. Besides the wind ta nejoice in as a sign of spring, there are Robins, a few hardy ones scout- ing ahead cf the great influx which xii soon rival the in- flux of Canadians into Flor- ida. On March Gth we heard a Robin's clear cali notes, endin1g with the conversational ani dearly familiar "Crip, crip!'" No song as yet. It*s a little early for that, with no lady Robins around ta admire opcratic prowess. In another montb the home- making instincts o! the birds will burst forth in furious ac- tivity as ncsts are built and lined and made secure. Humans, likcwisc, are seized with a fren- zy ta do something about their living quarters. Woodwork is scrubbed, windows are polisb- ed, clothes arc hung on the line ta blow, and the reek of paint is apt ta bang over ail. Things are taken out cf clos- ets and drawers and the aid soliloquy follows-to throw or not to throw away'. Humans having something of the in- stinct of the squirrel as to baarding, the items are likcly ta be aired, and put back again. just in case-. But thic case neyer arises. The only course is ta be ruthless, We mark that down as a resolution. A FINE STEP FORWARD Wc should like ta say bow deliglited we are that the 'Town Counicil lias passed a iv-laxv making aur library a free pub- lic library; that the ground floor in tbe aId Post Office is ta be its new quarters; and that Bowmanville Rotary Club bas3 generously, and enthusiasticall,, undertaken to fit up these quar- ters for use as a library. A good library is second only ta schools in importance as an educational centre, and as a cultural farce %n a tawn the size o! ours we do flot tbink of anything which takes prece- dence over it. Our library was sadly bandicapped in making itself feit as such a force throughout the wbole tawn by its small space and outmoded set-up. In the large quartera wbich are now ta be its home, with a, separate and badly fleeded section for the cbildren, there is no daubt that its modemr look, as it is brought up-to-date, its faciities and service, space, convenience and accessîbility, on the four corners o! aur town, wilI make it a place fre- quented and enjayed by tbe many and a source of pnide ta ahi. It is a real step forward for Bowmanville. THE DISPERSION~ The trouble between the Ara' states and Isracl is a large an, thorny subject, and the ma or men capable o! bringin about a lasting solution wii we tbink, have te be cndowe, with genius. We do not prc pose in aur ignorance, ta dis cuss the pros and cons, but w tbink it is a good thing as witi any question, ta realize tha there are two sides, or view points. Tbe setting up of Jewisb state in territory whici lîad been owned and populate( bx' the Arabs for centuries wa bound ta cause trouble. On th, other hand, after their tria] ,,and persecution in the Secon World War, the Jewish peopli needed a home. However, a point we though you'd be interested in came ul in a discustsion of recerit de \'eloPients in thle probleni The point xvas a question, as t( hiow the Jewisb people cam, ta be scattered aven the eartl from thein ancient homelani of Palestine. Wc knew ther, was a tbing called the Disper sion and we bad thought it; more or les.s definite event a whicb time the Jews lef t Fa lestine. Enlisting thé hclp o! thosý wbo bave studied Jewish anm Christian history, wc founc that the Dispersion, mcaning the scattering of Isracl tbrough. out the world, was a gradua' process rather thon an event The Jcws bad a succession oi conquerors including Alexan. der the Great. HIis generals d;. vided bis rcalm, but warrec with each other, and one secur- ing Egypt on the south, anothez Antioch on the north, Palestinc became the tnampling grouný between. This was 300 B.C Egypt, und--r Grcek rule, offer. ed better living conditions, arn so many Jews emigrated there From there tbey began ti.. spread around the Mediterran- can, s0 that -by the time o! the risc cf Christianity, it is sai lîat by far the greater part af thie Jcwish people livcd outside the boundaries o! Palestine. Witb the destruction cf the Temple at Jerusalem by the Romans in 70 A.D., the Jews became a cburcb or a religion, rathier than a nation. After fur- tlîer troubles and rebeliion, the Jews were forbidden ta enter Jerusalem, in 135 A.D., and a temple to Jupiten was buiît on the site o! the Jewish Temple. However, a spiritual revivai followed. The Jews o! the Dis- persion far from Jerusalemn, had already learncd ta supple- mcnt the Temple with the syn- agogue. Jewish history, tbough complex, is intenesting, as is the history o! ail the Eastern peoples. b d n il, d 0- 7e ýn t- a ýd Is ie .5 le ip c. ýo id e- a 14 1 fe Id d THE CANADIAN BANK 0F COMMERCE 750 branches across Canada ready Io serve you.
